When pruning hongzhiyu, some branches will be cut. You can use them to cut and grow them into 5 cm stem segments, or take another branch, leave several pairs of leaves at the lower end of the plant, only cut the upper segment of the branch, and then put it in the shade for 3-5 days, after the wound is slightly dry, carry out cutting. It can be inserted into the tidal soil, but do not accumulate water, and then wait for its hair roots. During this period, the lower leaves may shrink and wither, which is caused by the need for nutrition of the hair roots. In addition, cuttings can also be in the air and wait for her to send out air roots before cutting into the soil.
Take off some complete leaves from the stem, remember to put them on the soil for three days before the leaf cutting, and then just like other succulent plants, just put them on the soil directly, and keep a certain degree of moderation. In addition, we should add some bamboo charcoal to the selected soil, which is conducive to reducing bacteria and ensuring the success of the leaf cutting. After the leaves are inserted, it will not be long before small meat and red whisker like air roots will grow. At this time, the roots can be buried in the soil, waiting for it to grow up slowly. This method is suitable for large-scale propagation, but the formation is relatively slow.
The best sowing time is from February to may, and then select mature seeds to sow in the pot. Remember to do it indoors. Control the room temperature at 18 ~ 21 ℃, and germinate in the first half of a month.
